Nudie Wahine Handled Mug - from the Around The World Set - Brown & Beige - by Riddell
in 6 collections
Made in 1951. This brown mug is wider at the base and narrower at the top. The handle is lighter in color and is shaped like a wahine. All she's wearing is a lei and a smile. This mug is one of a collection of six nudie themed mugs from "Around The World". Also in the set are a swiss girl with braids, a russian girl with a fur hat & muff, a geisha girl, a matador girl, and a cowgirl. Each measures approximately 6 3/4 inches tall & 5 1/4 inches wide.
There was also a green-glazed set of the Around The World girls.
The green-glazed set features an eskimo girl but no brown versions have turned up so far.
